Talk:Little Italy, Toronto

Untitled

Besides some traditional concentration in the single family homes west of Hurontario between Burnhamthorpe and the QEW, I'm not aware of any concentratio' - in the fashion of other identified "concentrations," a heavily Italian neighbourhood - of Italian-Canadians in Mississauga. (This includes Erindale, but I deferred to the previous person who added Erindale.) But certainly Mississauga is an Italian community like Woodbridge is questionable. Should we include it at all, or go back to specifying an area or areas within Mississauga? Samaritan 22:32, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

That would be more appropriate for an article *about* Italian Canadians. This article is about Little Italy. Mentioning that there are concentrations of Italians in Mississauga is enough. Darkcore 06:32, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I believe Little Italy was very Jewish at one point (1960s?) but I don't know much of the details. Mentioning something about this in the article would be a good idea.

That was east of Bathurst. Kensington Market. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Certainly not in the 60's... at least not what we know as Little Italy, Ossington to Bathurst. College street was 75% Italian in the 60's, both residents and shop keepers, particularly between Dovercourt and Grace. Jewish community was in the Kensington market, Spadina near the textile area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.112.96.210 (talk) 01:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

REnamed REbranded in the mid 1990's

The area was never called Little Italy. AS far as I can remember most Italians who lived there from the 50's 60 had moved away to Maple by early to mid 1990's and only a few Italian businesses from what I remember and also later read, remained. From what I read there it wasn't even that much Italian business left, but the area was more a place Italians congregated in the 1950's when they first arrived in Canada. By the 1990's it was pretty much dead in terms of Italians expect for the few family food places and shops that were still there. The BIA branded the area little Italy and more Italian related businesses came. Actually by the late 1980's the strip was dying so bad that retail spaces was being used for clubs...the most famous being a punk club called the Apocalypse club .

The "Little Italy" moniker is a City of Toronto thing I think. But the official neighbourhood designation is Palmerston-Little Italy which, confusingly, is its own Wikipedia page. This one should be merged into that one. (AnotherBDA (talk) 00:44, 24 September 2020 (UTC))
